Douehi and Hastings together at 6 and 7 whould be the slowest halves combination in the comp

I think Douehi will be shown the door at the earliest opportunity. He’s not a Sheens type of player.

I think you're probably right but this would be a massive mistake and will haunt us in the future.

fine with Hastings playing 7 but Brooks plays 6 then 

Douhie plays centre or leaves

If Brooks plays six then we're destined for the spoon again.

Its the very definition of insanity.

I agree with you 💯 but Sheens has his own ideas I think.

@celtic_tiger we lost tedesco we can lose Douhie and still be fine. Would hope we get a good centre or use Douhie's cash to increase Hastings offer.

Decent performances one season out of seven tells it's own story.

Douhie hasn't even had a pre season at five eighth but you are prepared to dump in on the back of a few sub standard performances at the tail end of the year yet you are advocating for Brooks to be picked despite being useless for six out of seven seasons.

Ad showed in flashes last year that the raw materials are there and deserves a chance to learn and grow. If its not at the Tigers then another club will give him that opportunity.

@celtic_tiger Halfbacks are hard to come by as evident with Newcastle wanting to desperately land Brooks.

Brooks can play 7 or 6 so yes I would lose douhie to keep Brooks. Sheens is a fan of Brooks and he is not the sole reason we do not make semi finals. 

Douhie is a good player but he came as a fullback and failed as a fullback. He has defensive issues as a 6 also. If he is happy to play centre then great we need a centre. If he could tackle then perhaps he could have played 13 and Hastings to 7 and Brooks to 6. 

Douhie does not seem like a Sheens style of 6 I think Sheens thinks he can turn Laurie into that running ball playing 6 more so than Douhie.

@celtic_tiger agree 100%. He was our best player in 2021. I also hope Sheens assesses him after a full pre season and if he plays at No 6 for the first four rounds.

So you wouldn't re-sign him now?

I was AD’a biggest fan but I wouldn’t re-sign him now under any circumstances. His defence is too poor for any position imo.
